The concept of 'bathroom divorce,' akin to 'sleep divorce,' is emerging as married couples seek separate bathroom spaces to maintain harmony and improve personal comfort. Interior designer Debbie Wiener exemplifies this trend, investing over $100,000 to create a shared bathroom with personal spaces — two sinks and toilets — responding to age-related needs. Though it might appear extravagant, such renovations are becoming increasingly desired among certain demographics, especially women. This phenomenon reflects broader changes in relationships as couples prioritize individuality and privacy, raising questions about evolving living dynamics in marriage.
"A bathroom divorce can certainly be expensive. The interior designer Debbie Wiener spent more than $100,000 on a bathroom with side-by-side sinks and separate his-and-hers toilets for her Maryland home."
"As you get older, your gastrointestinal needs change, Wiener told the New York Post. My husband's habits didn't age well. One toilet was not cutting it."
"So are most bathroom divorces female-driven? Seems likely. I don't think about the bathroom that much, said Wiener's husband, Jim Weinberger."
"It's like a sleep divorce, but for bathrooms. The bathroom divorce has similar aims: to maintain marital harmony."
